MADISON, WI – 2019 was the 18th year for Madison’s Opera in the Park, and Jonathan and Susan Lipp, founder/CEO and chairman of the board, respectively, of Madison-based Full Compass, once again supported the event’s sound quality. Jonathan also served as lead sound engineer, and he, along with the Full Compass Rentals team, selected, supplied and set up much of the audio gear.

He understands that for an expansive outdoor production featuring some of the world’s finest singers and musicians, the right equipment and mix are essential to capturing and reproducing the full dynamic range of the performance. The result is the achievement of truly powerful, immersive sound – an essential ingredient that makes Opera in the Park a success.

This year, Full Compass supplied equipment from Sennheiser and Yamaha, as well as a public address system and delay system from Bag End. Specifically, a Yamaha QL5 mixer with Rio Stage box was used at the event, along with Sennheiser wireless microphones. Behind the boards, Jonathan was assisted by his grandson, Jake Lipp, as well as Henry Heine from Bag End.

The Madison Opera Chorus and Madison Symphony Orchestra shared their favorite opera and Broadway music theater numbers on Sunday, July 21st to an expected crowd of more than 15,000 patrons. This unique event is known as an amazing opportunity for Madison’s residents to come together to enjoy the talent of the glorious singers and musicians from the state capital.
